SABLE Chemical Industries, Zimbabwe, is set to embark on a project to set up a $200 million fertiliser manufacturing plant which uses Coal Bed Methane (CBM).
Board Chairman said the company was working on raising $200 million to fund the coal bed methane project which will enable the Kwekwe based fertiliser manufacturing company to operate at full capacity.
CMB is a method for extracting methane from a coal deposit through a process called steam reforming. Methane absorbed into a solid coal matrix will be released if the coal seam is depressurised and hydrogen will be extracted.
